Penny from Staffordshire has been a complementary therapist, artist and teacher for over 30 years. Now with both her parents passed away, there’s nothing holding her back from moving to the Spanish sunshine permanently and running her business from her new home in Malaga. She’s bringing along her best friend Claire to help with the search and for some moral support. Laura Hamilton has 5 great options for her budget of £120,000, but will any of the properties be perfect?
About the area
Malaga is a city and region on Spain’s Costa Del Sol and direct flights to its airport take under 3 hours from the UK. Malaga itself is a busy city bursting with life. The birthplace of Pablo Picasso, Malaga is home to an impressive number of museums and monuments, as well as loads of popular sandy beaches.This search focuses around some of the inland villages and towns of the region like Alora and Colmenar. These are filled with whitewashed buildings and are nestled picturesquely in the mountains. Despite being a drive away from the bustling beaches, there’s a great sense of life right here too, albeit more laidback, with cafes, restaurants and bars dotted around charming squares and pretty cobbled streets.
